Best Streaming Mic Under $100? Boya BY-DM500 SM7B Killer!

[@randyrektor]

Hey. If you're reading this, you're lookin good today.

[@98SILVIA]

yeah especialy with brocken arm

[@randyrektor]

Oh man, sorry to hear!

[@LukePollack]

Really amazing content man! Love the comparison with all the other mics. Keep it up, you deserve more subs!

[@randyrektor]

Thanks a ton man. I checked out your channel and subbed. LOVE the morph edit between things on your desk. I may have to borrow (steal) that from you!

[@aa-9623]

Sounds better without the windscreen. I think it's a solid dynamic microphone. I bought mine for $60 on sale.

[@randyrektor]

That’s a great deal! I totally agree about the windscreen, although I found with my voice, I’d get a lot of plosives.

[@aa-9623]

Instead use a pop filter :)

[@gigihanmandarin]

Great review! I'd imagine this would sound more bassy/broadcasty compared to Rode Pod mic. Do make a comparison video comparing this to other $100 mics!

[@randyrektor]

Thanks for the kind words. Yea, I would love to do some more comparisons! More videos coming soon!

[@ObscureMics]

Happy to hear someone else's thoughts on this one...its a heck of a mic for the money. Great video!

[@randyrektor]

Thanks man! Your videos are great btw. Totally agree though, people are sleeping on this mic, especially for the price!

[@ObscureMics]

@@randyrektor Appreciate that a ton. Im gonna binge yours this evening based off this one...great stuff.

[@randyrektor]

Thank you so much! Likewise :)

[@baileypelkman]

Impressive for the price! Also these shots 🔥🔥🔥

[@randyrektor]

Why thank you! 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@theiammike123]

the dm500 one actually sounds clearer than the sm58. what about boya dm500 vs se v7? great review btw :)

[@randyrektor]

Thank so much, and I totally agree. Kinda crazy for the price! Oooo good idea. I’ve never actually tried anything by SE

[@RyanKorea]

Great video! You'll get a lot more subs for sure I just hope you figure out a smoother way of switching mics because it's the wonkiest thing I've ever seen 🤣

[@PulakChowdhury]

what interface did you use in this Video ?

[@randyrektor]

I believe this was recorded directly into a MixPre-6 II and synced up in post.

[@kyawlwinmoefinest]

What Adudio Interface is need? My Boya DM500's gain level is very low... with ( Behringer UM2 )...

[@randyrektor]

Interesting, I didn’t have that problem at all. Make sure your interface is set to mic, not line or instrument. That may help!

[@sophoria]

are you using the raw audio of the mic in the video?

[@randyrektor]

I believe I had a low cut set at around 80Hz and a small amount of compression to help with consistent levels. I normalized to -6dB. One of the challenges of microphone reviews on KZbin. Your video needs to be normalized or KZbin will do it in processing. That said, it’s pretty minimal.

[@sophoria]

@@randyrektor so would you say the quality would be as better raw?

[@randyrektor]

It would sound just about the same, slightly quieter though.

[@AhmadBlasy]

can i connect mic direct to pc or mobile?

[@randyrektor]

You would need some sort of an interface to do so. I would suggest checking out a mic that can do both USB and XLR. Something like the Hollyland PM1 or Fifine K688

[@markgbyrne]

Just get a Rode Podmic or a Shure MV7x for a few dollars more.

[@theoutsiderjess1869]

This mic sounds great but it looks like the pill version of the sm7b

[@randyrektor]

Hahaha SM7b ordered from Wish 💀
